The next morning everyone was sitting around the huge breakfast table. Some of the other tourists were dining as well, the bubble of talk and scraping of cutlery the only sounds made.

"I might be able to get over Miss Sonia."
Kazuichi declared suddenly, eyeing the blonde Princess and her trusty animal breeder companion who were seated on the other end of the table.

Nagito, sitting right next to him, turned to Kazuichi in surprise.

"What was that? Seriously?"

"Yeah," Kazuichi said dreamily.
"I've met another girl."

"Akane's premonition has become true, after all!" Nagito laughed, taking care to not be too loud.
"I'm happy for you, Kazuichi, I really am! When did you meet her?"

"Well, I only met her..." Kazuichi appeared a little flustered.
"She was working in the kitchen when I walked in to get a glass of milk.
She was so graceful...she might have given Miss Sonia a run for her money..."

"Oh wow, she's that good? You should approach her!"

"I wanted to man, but she left as soon as she was done cooking!" Kazuichi groaned.
"One moment she was right behind me, kneading dough...and when I turned back she was gone! She's like...a butterfly or something!"

"A..A butterfly?"

"Even the inn auntie didn't catch my drift at first. I kept saying she was this woman- kneading bread, and her hair was in a braid...but she understood me only after I said she disappeared like that.
So apparently the auntie can't take care of the inn all by herself because she's getting old. She employs some people living on the mountains to help her. But only the few people she really trusts."

"Hmm...that makes sense." Nagito said, taking a swig of milk.
"If you came back here early enough tomorrow morning, maybe you'll see her again."

"Yeah..duh!" The mechanic lost his worried expression to look energetic again.
"You think she'd be into me, bro?"

"Ah...I actually have no experience about all of this..."

"Of course you don't!" Hiyoko yelled from the other end of the table, giggling menacingly.
"You're still a virgin, aren't you, stanky boy?"

"Actually, he's not."

Hajime had spoken, who had finally tolerated her enough.

"What?"

"He's not a virgin. How would you know anything about him? He's probably has more of a lovelife than you ever will if you keep that up, Hiyoko."

"WAAAAAHHHH YOU'RE SO MEAN!"

"There, there, Hiyoko...it doesn't feel so nice being insulted now, does it?" Mahiru was looking at Hajime with shock while patting down her wailing friend who was attracting curious glances.

"Hajime...how did you know?!" Nagito whispered in disbelief as his brunette friend sank back into his chair.

"Know what?"

"That...that I'm not a-"

"I don't know," Hajime answered. "I just said that out of spite...don't tell me you actually already...?"

"That's...not true!" Nagito felt a red-hot blush stain his cheeks, looked away from his direction immediately and pretended to be very interested in finishing the rest of his milk.

A few hours after breakfast, the group left to the casino a few miles away from Ogimachi.
Nagito stayed behind being advised against loud and crowded places and being a quite complacent person himself.
